Emerson Launches New Downhole Flow Sensor System

摘要

The new system will, for the first time, generate multiphase flow measurements from downhole in the well, leading to increased operator understanding of reservoir flow and zonal contributions from wells and increased production control and optimization. Accurate and reliable flow rates, refined through 20 years of topside and subsea multiphase metering experience and 25 years of downhole monitoring experience. The technology is built on the Zector platform of Emerson's third generation multiphase meter with new field electronics, electrode arrangements and improved measurement models. The flow sensor system includes a new water cut measurement tool based on dual velocity measurements and a density sensor, measuring the density of the fluid using gamma rays. The system can operate at pressures and temperatures of up to 10,000 psi and 150 C respectively.
